Few Latin American bands allow themselves to play with so many sonic colors and still maintain such a recognizable identity. Monsieur Perine proves it again with his new album, “Instructions to be happy”a work of 19 songs which opens a different stage in his career and which appears through 5020 Records.

Everything feels close, warm and with an energy that invites you to breathe slowly and enjoy the moment.
The project brings together beloved and diverse voices such as Carlos Vives, PJ Sin Suela, Piso 21, Juliana, Luísa Sonza, Bebo Dumont, Jossman and Bejuco. Each collaboration opens a different door within the album, allowing the sound to expand without abandoning the essence of the group.
An emotional journey with new alliances
